They're uncontrollable and merely stand behind, you, providing covering fire, which was n't revolutionary in Baldur's Gate, let alone here. The r has you select a limited load-out mrnates - robots or soldiers - with ent guns in their hands.
Ter slogging past this awkward in, you're teleported to the main Things only go further downhill, vo remotely clever ideas in this loadable content - squads and on load-outs - are quickly doused thick gasoline of mediocrity. Disappointingly, enemies ioear with a weird fizzly effect - an't even loot them. To make matters worse, there are no istimpaks - only ammo dispensers and health containers that restore everything ton your person. This begins an hour-long excursion into Medal of Honor: Boring Snowy Cliffs as you bundle through doorways, killing the same bad guy repeatedly, using VATS or the slightly wonky combat engine. On entering the simulation, you're faced with a series of cliffs and a general who insists you follow him up a ridge and kill some Chinese soldiers. Bethesda's writers could and should have done better. In reality, it's a bunch of bored-looking soldiers with by-the-numbers dialogue who direct you towards a simulation to open a door. Picky or not, this is a rather shit plot device, especially considering the radio broadcast that draws you towards them says that it's an emergency. This simulation is apparently the requirement to open a door to a supposed bevvy of ammunition, joy, and possibly plot. These individuals - ex-Brotherhood Of Steel power-armoured types - make vague, grunted threats at you, before asking you to enter a simulation of the battle to free Alaska's capital, Anchorage, from Chinese forces. You receive a transmission that directs you towards an elevator, where you meet with a group called the Outcasts. Hidden within these layers of action RPG is a workable FPS - and, stupidly, Bethesda have felt that the first downloadable content for this game should be built around Fallout 3s weakest assets.Īfter leaping over the Games for Windows - LIVE installation and dealing with the mod-hating new patch, the start of Operation Anchorage is positive. This is enhanced by the scrambling to find ammo, stimpaks, fresh weaponry, inbetween Mad Max style battles with crazed raiders.įurthermore, one of its beauties is its distinct lack of linearity - for the most part, you can do anything you want, in any order, and however you like.
The whole thrust of the wasteland is that you are a wanderer - one who crosses a vast expanse with only one goal that you can ignore. Fallout 3 is a game that is made great by its inability to keep the player in one place.
